Sundried Tomatoes in Olive Oil
Choose ripe and firm tomatoes. Wash them well, dry and cut in half. Place the tomatoes on a level surface with the cut side up. Sprinkle with salt. Leave them to dry in the sun (taking care that they are kept clean) for 4 days. An alternative method is to dry the tomatoes in the oven at a very low temperature (120oC) for 5-6 hours. Place the tomatoes in a glass jar and cover with Extra Virgin olive oil.
